You are alone it’s about 10:00 AM on a Saturday morning. You arrive at Home Depot (or any other store with a large parking lot) and are forced to park near the end of the lot about 200 feet to the door. After you have walked about 75 feet from your car and about 120 feet from the door, a full size van traveling perpendicular to you (which you noticed but was not unusual for the area) stops about 15 feet in front of you with the side of the van facing you. The door opens and a man in the back yells at you to get in while pointing a handgun at you. You are carrying in whatever way would be normal for you, and you assume that the bad guys don’t know. There are two men in the front of the van and only the one in the back.
What do you do?
1. Draw your weapon and fight.
2. Run away while screaming bloody murder (or FIRE).
3. Get in the van and hope your weapon is not discovered.
4. Something else.
If the bad guy had a shotgun or rifle instead of the handgun would your decision change?
Does the fact that you are a man/woman change your opinion?
I’m not sure if this scenario is survivable without gross incompetence from the bad guys.
